What does that have to do with anything.

Your comment stated that Trudeau was a pathological liar, but he's better than the 'alt right'. I assume alt right refers to the PPC, not the CPC, and I assumed you made THAT comparison (LPC to PPC), skipping over CPC, because you support the CPC.

My assumption about your CPC support may be incorrect, but it sure seems to be buttressed by the fact that you stated that Trudeau is an egregious liar, when in reality his dishonesty is no worse than many other politicians, and in regard to bold faced lies about facts (as opposed to, say, broken election promises) he's nowhere near as bad as Poilievre.

This why I asked you if you could identify any of Poilievre's many lies, misinformation, or disinformation. Because I suspected you might avoid answering it, as you predictably did. And given that the entire post and originating article is about the CPC, I don't think it's really off topic to ask about them. So, can you tell me where Poilievre has lied?

Did you make that assumption on your own or is that just how it works in Canada? If it's the latter then I guess it's my fault for using words I don't fully understand, but either way my man (or woman or whatever) chill the fuck out. This is actual paranoia. Also note that the guy I replied to also said alt-right, so seriously just... what?

To make that clear, I do not support the CPC. I don't care about or follow Canadian politics enough to pick a team, so to speak, but even I can tell that PP is a snake oil salesman. And if you're wondering what I'm doing in !Canada, I came here from /all and replied with what I do know from the Trudeau resignation debacle.

and in regard to bold faced lies about facts (as opposed to, say, broken election promises) he's nowhere near as bad as Poilievre.

Making a promise and then actively and intentionally breaking it is bold-faced lying. Again how he compares to PP is irrelevant here; this is a Lemmy thread not a voting station.

Because I suspected you might avoid answering it, as you predictably did.

Okay just to be clear, you'll find that many people will avoid answering this question, because again that's not what I was talking about. This sort of shibboleth ideological purity nonsense can get really annoying even if you're on the "right" side.
